We never did buy it, just never saw the value. We just always got to the port early and when we cruised, I think you boarded in order of arrival, not check in. Same with next week, even with Platinum, we still have a 10:30 arrival time.
True, but the bigger the ships get and the fewer staff... I work in a busy downtown hospital, and our patient count is always high and seems like we operate on a skeleton crew... so I get why, but on a paid vacation losing even little things does stand out.
You got that right!
And the DP party is nice, hopefully they just check cards better in the future and turn the others away.
I still miss the last night party. I can't drink like that anymore, but wow...
The booking summary is gone from the printables too.. now it's just an informational. That part I never really kept track of anyway, just had it on my phone ( as long as phones did such things)
I understand and thank you for clarifying. We don't go as many as some, but have seen heaps of changes over the years.... and that's one thing I expect to stay the same. be well.
That's disappointing, but just another kick I guess.
I guess we're back to lugging around our 12 packs and bottles of wine.... hopefully they don't take that away too.
I did my check in this morning for a cruise coming up soon and it says we can't access our rooms until 1:30 even Diamond, Platinum and FTTF. Are we going back to that, or is it ship / port dependent? I really appreicate being able to take my bags to the room.
What I've found as an option from Union Station to LBX Downtown is take the Metro A line and then we can walk the few blocks or uber to where we plan to stay which is near the convention center and gives us access to Vons grocery store. Website looks to be a decent enough place - found on google maps.
